As an Environmental Compliance Specialist, I can tell you that this product is NOT approved for use under the 2005 FDA Food Code, Section 4-904.11, paragraph C, unless they are loaded into an APPROVED dispenser allowing the customer to obtain his/her own straw. If you purchase this product and don't have an approved dispenser, you are risking a violation. In order for it to be an acceptable product without an approved dispenser, the straws must be individually wrapped and presented to the customer with the wrapper intact.
I thought that the straws would be solid colors, when in fact they were patterned and much more than I had expected. Great product.
I bought these instead of dowels to stabilize wedding cakes. So far they have worked great, easy to cut, easy to push in cake. They were really expensive (with shipping) but thats what I get for living in the middle of nowhere.
This item was a bit hard to find, but this is exactly what i wanted. Came when they said it would. Will likely order from them again.
With them it was possible to bypass the sore mouth and get down the Ensure and Carnation 560 that kept me from starving. During radiation therapy for throat cancer, it was very difficult to eat and drink because of the burns to the inside of my mouth. I took them to my support group and they are also useful to one of the people who has to puree all his food. My daughter sent me bubble tea straws for a get-well present. This were the most thoughtful, useful gift I received. Now I'm going to order some more to give to a friend who just broke her jaw, which will be wired shut for six more weeks. Verona Bennetto
